Question for the board...

The throw that Ben made to Mendenhall that resulted in a touchdown how is that considerable a lateral/run play? It wasnt a backwards pass. Why wasnt that considered a TD pass? I have watched that play over and over and over. Ben releases the ball at about the 21 1/2 yard line and Mendenhall catches the ball at the 21 yard line( just a tad ahead of Ben). What am I missing here?

You can see the play at the 1:00 mark. It's so close but I can see where they'd call it a lateral. When I saw the play live I thought for sure it was a forward pass but watching it again; it's not so clear cut.
